2 quotes that really speak to me every time I read them. As humans, every thought we have is registered in the body! EVERY thought!! It creates a cascade of reactions to our physiological body. Our heartbeat changes, our blood pressure, our hormone levels, our ability to digest foods, to fight/flee/freeze, to tend/befriend, to create….. We have the ability to NOTICE how thoughts affect us. We also have the ability to change our thoughts to ones that create positive reactions in our bodies. How cool is that! Sure it takes practice, but we can get to know these bodies intimately and work with their inherent wisdom to cultivate positive outcomes for our wholistic being.
THIS is why I show up for practices like: Yoga, Ayurveda, Meditation (which is one of the 8 limbs of Yoga), Gratitude, Compassion, etc…. After sooooooooo many years of unknowingly cultivating practices of negative bias, anxiety, depression, and the like - and feeling the ill effects in my body - I just can’t do that anymore!
If these quotes speak to you, may they move you to simply pause throughout the day and notice whatever it is you notice happening in your body. May you get to know your body intimately. What we practice is what we become. Choose wisely.
